Why are plants and animals fossils commonly found in the layers of sedimentary rocks?
Plants and animals can become fossils in sedimentary rocks because these rocks are formed from layers of sand, silt, and clay that accumulate over time, preserving the remains. As sediment builds up, it can bury dead organisms and protect them from decay, leading to the formation of fossils. The slow process of sedimentation helps in the preservation of details of the organisms, allowing researchers to study past life forms.
What allows seed plants to carry out long-distance reproduction?
Seed plants carry out long distance reproduction by animals, rain, wind, or pollen.
What allows seed plants carry out long distance reproduction?
Seed plants carry out long distance reproduction by animals, rain, wind, or pollen.
Are some plants fossils imprints?
No current plants, but some fossil imprints are of long dead plants (usually from about 1/4 billion yeas ago).
What type of rock forms when material from dead plants and animals is deposited and hardens to rock?
Sedimentary rock forms when material from dead plants and animals, along with other debris, is compacted and cemented over time. This process creates rock layers rich in organic material, such as coal or limestone, from the remains of living organisms.
What conditions are necessary for animals and plants to become fossils?
The animal or plants needs to be covered in a sedimentary silt or mud, for a very long time.
How are plants from long ago like animals of long ago?
The plants from long ago are like animals of long ago in a couple of ways. Both have survived through time.
What do long- horned grasshoppers eat?
Long horned grasshoppers have a very different diet than other grasshoppers. In addition to plants, long horned grasshoppers eat other insects and feed off of dead animals.
What are long lasting animals and plants called?
humans
What rocks form from dead plants and animals that have been compressed?
Rocks that form from dead plants and animals that have been compressed are called sedimentary rocks. Examples include coal, which forms from compressed plant matter, and limestone, which can contain compressed remains of marine organisms. This process of transformation over time is known as diagenesis.
What role do carbohydrates play in the survival of animals and plants?
Carbohydrates are used as an energy source for plants. They become crucial after a long hard winter where photosynthesis has not taken place. In this case, the plants rely on carbohydrate stores to provide the energy they need to produce new growth.

What are fuels made up of?
Fossil fuels are made up of dead animals and plants and over a long period of time, the decayed plants and animal remains are compressed together with dirt.Over millions of years they will form coal.
Person who stuffs dead animals?
The act of stuffing dead animals, mounting them, and placing them on display is called taxidermy. Somebody who practices taxidermy is called a taxidermist.
How can geologists tell about plants and animals that lived on earth a long time ago?
Well, most of the time geologists find fossils of plants and animals, and then study them to find out how long ago the plant(or animal) lived.
How long did it take for animals to become fossils?
1000 years
What allows seed plants to carry out long-distance reproduction?
Seed plants carry out long distance reproduction by animals, rain, wind, or pollen.
